Letter to childminders from Elizabeth Truss, Minister for Childcare

Over the next few weeks, the Minister for Education and Childcare, Elizabeth Truss is writing to all childminders in England informing them about Government reforms designed to make it easier to work as a childminder and to attract new people into the profession. The reforms include making it easier for childminders to access early education funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds; the introduction of childminder agencies; and how childminders can work with schools in providing before and after school care.

The letter is being sent by post to all childminders over the next few weeks and can also be viewed here
